Tucked behind a gated entrance and surrounded by mature trees, flowering landscape, climbing ivy, and timeless brick details, 1 Hickory Road offers an extraordinary sense of privacy, charm, and possibility in the heart of Fairfax. Set on a rare 17,859 square foot all-level corner lot, this property is truly unique for its scale, usability, natural beauty, and proximity to town. With Doc Edgar Park just next door and downtown Fairfax less than half a mile away, the home offers the best of both worlds: a private retreat-like setting with easy access to the vibrant community, restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, and trails that make Fairfax so beloved.
The approximately 2,051 square foot main residence is warm, inviting, and full of character, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated office. Inside, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and charming architectural details create a comfortable and timeless feel. The living room is especially memorable, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a brick fireplace, and oversized windows and doors that connect the home beautifully to the surrounding gardens. The result is a space that feels bright, open, and relaxed, while still maintaining the cozy character of a classic Fairfax home.
The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, with crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a beautiful copper farmhouse sink that adds warmth and personality. Updated lighting, refreshed bathrooms, and thoughtful finishes throughout the home create a move-in-ready feel while preserving the property’s original charm. From the charming gray painted shingled siding to the brick accents inside and out, every part of the home feels layered, welcoming, and full of soul.
Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the grounds are exceptional. The fully fenced, all-level lot offers an incredible amount of usable space, with mature landscaping, sunny lawn areas, a pool and hot tub, multiple entertaining patios, and a fire pit for gathering outdoors. The outdoor BBQ area with built-in sink sits beneath a vine-covered trellis, creating a beautiful setting for summer dinners, weekend entertaining, and relaxed evenings at home. A vintage outdoor brick sink and charming brick patios add to the property’s character and make the outdoor spaces feel both functional and storybook-like.
Adding tremendous flexibility is the approximately 730-square-foot pool house, complete with a kitchen area, living space, bedroom, laundry room, full bathroom, and its own fireplace. Whether used for guests, extended stays, work-from-home space, poolside entertaining, or future creative use, the pool house expands the way the property can live and adds meaningful versatility. Together, the main home and pool house create a rare compound-like feel that is difficult to find so close to downtown Fairfax.
What truly sets 1 Hickory Road apart is the land. Fully level, sunny, private, and beautifully landscaped, a lot of this size and usability is incredibly rare, especially so close to downtown Fairfax. The property offers exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyle, with room to entertain, garden, relax, play, and expand over time. There is also potential to split the property into two approximately 7,500 to 8,000-square-foot lots, with plans currently drawn but not approved by the Town of Fairfax. Any future subdivision, development, or expansion would be subject to town review and approval, and buyers should independently verify possibilities with the appropriate agencies.
Fairfax is known for its laid-back charm, creative spirit, and deep connection to nature. From morning coffee downtown to live music, local dining, nearby parks, hiking and biking trails, and a true small-town sense of community, Fairfax offers a lifestyle that feels uniquely Marin. At 1 Hickory Road, that lifestyle is right outside your door, with the added luxury of rare all-level land, privacy, sun, and a home that feels both timeless and special.

When you purchase a home in Fairfax, you're also purchasing history. There's still a whiff of 1960s counterculture in Fairfax, where the Jefferson Airplane once played softball with the Grateful Dead. This town of 7,500 residents just north of Mount Tamalpais is 30 minutes from San Francisco, less than 20 miles from Point Reyes, and is known as one of Marin County’s more affordable communities.
The heart of Fairfax is Broadway Boulevard, which parallels Sir Frances Drake Boulevard, the main traffic corridor heading west. Broadway is a perfect walking street where locals shop at Fairfax Coffee Roastery, purchase fresh local produce at the farmers market, and duck into Fairfax Variety for toys, tchotchkes, and candy. If Fairfax feels like it is living in a time warp, that's just fine with its residents, who have passed ordinances prohibiting chain stores, plastic bags, and Styrofoam takeout-food packaging. The art-deco movie theater and 19 Broadway Bar & Night Club are at the center of the action when it comes to nightlife in Fairfax.
